Martin is the court-appointed attorney assigned to defend Syed Haris Ahmed, a Georgia Tech engineering student being held on terrorism charges -- charges that may have remained secret had an Atlanta television station not reported on the arrest after talking to Ahmed's family.

John R. “Jack” Martin has had some tough cases, but he’s never had to go to court blindfolded.
Martin represents convicted child killer Wayne Williams in a habeas appeal and was the trial lawyer for Abdul Al-Amin, aka H. Rap Brown, the former Black Panther turned Muslim imam who was convicted for the 2000 murder of a Fulton County, Ga., deputy. He also offered an unsuccessful defense of Carl Isaacs, who was put to death for his role in the 1973 slayings of six members of a rural Georgia family.
